That's a very helpful reply.

Thanks.

Hey,

This is going to sound really strange especially as I cannot back it up. But there's a reason I don't use GUIRunOnce, something I've done to my installation means I can't but at the moment I can't recall exactly what that is that results in this limitation but it's my reason for using RunOnceEx in the first place.

Thanks for your reply and it's impossible not to come across rude but I can sure you it isn't my intention when I ask... can you answer my original question please?

Well, suppose this is the entry you're adding to your RunOnceEx batch file:

REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f

Then you could NOT display a title (note that is theoretical and NOT tested) and still execute the entry by changing it to this:

REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f

Note that you'll have to change this manually AFTER ROE.exe was executed, which directly updates the registry. An alternative approach is to choose "custom" as the Finisher method, so you can set the execution of the Finisher yourself. In this case, just make sure

%SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe

gets executed, at whatever moment you prefer.

Wow - what a fantastic project and what tremendous progress you've made since the initial idea stage.

I've reached a point where I'm happy with my unattended installation and want to begin integrating drivers, mainly massstorage for text-mode (as Windows does not support certain S-ATA controllers and I want to remove the requirement for that old fashioned floppy drive) and network (once you have your network/internet connection, you can then download the latest drivers for your hardware).

I see the need for an entry in RunOnceEx and appreciate that you allow your users to choose the entry number but where is this information stored? The reason I ask is, I'd rather the entry wasn't visible in the list of items being installed during RunOnce. Essentially I'd like to remove the title from the DriverPack RunOnce entry - how can I do this?

Thank you.

laze.
